The initial investment is $9.99 for the plans. After that, the cost will vary depending on how good of a scrounger you are and a DYI'r. The gauge can be gotten through the forum, as can the regulator. But if you get the plans and read through and ask questions on the forum, most of your questions will be answered. Basically, if you look at what Harbor Freight gets for the big Pot Blaster ($199.00), you can build your own for a lot less money AND it will be made in the good ole USA.
This system was well thought out and has been tried and is true...
I don't put out information if it isn't any good or tried by me.
That's all there is to it and I see I have backers.
What's $9.99 amount to now days anyway. 3 gal of gas, a couple packs of smokes, a few long necks
